Battle of the XVs (XV-01 vs XV-02)

[smirk-racing 254]

Hi all

Have any of you had a chance to personally drive and compare the XV-01 vs the XV-02? I have seen a few YouTube vids and to be honest I could see very little difference between the two cars. 
 

I am hoping to get opinions from people who own both vehicles and have driven both enough to have gotten a feel for the differences between the two. 
 

Ideally, you have driven them under somewhat similar circumstances. 
 

Thanks!

What videos are you watching?

XV01 feels more like rally and movement, XV02 more control and performance. I only own XV02 but have run XV01 on a track. They are plenty different (front mount belt/mid mound shaft), drive differently as a result, and both have their place in Tamiya's rally line up.
